This sheet cake is great for Easter Sunday, which is just around the corner – only 2 weeks away to be exact.  Which got me wondering what would be a fun alternative dessert or tea time treat for Easter?  I wanted to make something that was simple, pretty and totally delicious.

Take a look at these other sweet treat ideas for Easter –  Double Glazed Spanish Puff Pastry Twists,  these Dairy & Sugar Free Almond Chocolate Truffles, this Chocolate Brownie Cake (Sugar Free) and this Lemon Drizzle Silk Cake with Cream Cheese Icing.

My Coconut Almond Greek Yoghurt Sheet Cake is all of those things, and your little ones will love it too!  This is definitely a special occasion cake, there’s not too much that’s healthy about this one.  But who’s counting calories on Easter Sunday anyway??!

Overflowing with COCONUT, this cake is made with coconut flour, coconut milk, coconut oil and desiccated coconut.  I don’t think I could have made it more coconutty if I tried!!  But that’s the whole point of this cake – it’s not for the shy when it comes to coconut!!  There is a subtle hint of almond in the cake itself and in the coconut icing which just takes this cake to another level!

This sheet cake settles really well, so you could even make it the day before, store it in the sheet pan covered with silver foil overnight, and ice it the day you serve it. 

For extra indulgence serve this cake with vanilla ice cream as a dessert….It’s so moist it can easily double as a pudding.  I’m imagining a slice of gorgeous white coconut cake served with vanilla ice cream, topped with a few pastel coloured candy coated chocolate easter eggs!  How stunning would that look?  Your friends and family will be so impressed!!
